…(It's not clear to me this is anthropogenic, my impression is that it's a natural cycle of drought exacerbated by global climate change, but it's beside the point.)

The tl;dr is that the water was portioned out to the Western states (including Arizona) during an unusually wet period, and we're now in a period of drought.…

所以还有另一本书叫《水流何方》。作者在书里提到，如果索尔顿湖真的消失了，聚集的粉尘、化肥以及其他不太好的化学物质可能会被风吹起，极大地降低空气……
